    Flickering Battery Light

    Flickering Battery Light on the dash board. New Motorcraft Alternator that is charging battery.

    Cables checked. Flickering Battery Light before Alternator replaced.

    Any ideas on what to check or replace?

    Thank you for your Help.

    Check all the grounds, should be clean and tight. Check the resistance of the cables. These cables are getting old and are prone to corrosion internally.
